I've never done this before

There's always a time to try something new in your life especially once your over 50. What's blogging anyway? Is it a communication thing? Back to the book, I am excited to try new things, obviously. Having been at the education game as long as I have. Fake reading doesn't apply only to Language Arts or History or a content area that is primarily reading but equally to my subject of math as my students confided when they did poorly their most recent test. They explained that my agonizing over the explicit and very particular directions that I wrote were for naught since they preferred to look at the problems and guess what was to be done. This was the strategy that they had employed since forever. Success in math was based on the most succesful guessing of what it took to solve a problem.

So, the lesson that I learned was this is definitely a universal problem and it applies to ALL content areas. When you least expect that you might be a victim, you most certainly are!
